The general rule is that after the merge window, I merge fixes to
things we put in during the merge window, as well as important
regression fixes.  Most bug fixes will be queued for the next merge
window.  I'll need some guidance on classifying these.

I think the map_irq/swizzle_irq patch should definitely be in v4.14.
(It looks a lot like these:

  1ee4d93d5037 PCI: xilinx-nwl: Move to struct pci_host_bridge IRQ mapping functions
  5a3dc3c1f694 PCI: rockchip: Move to struct pci_host_bridge IRQ mapping functions
  c62e98bdaa70 PCI: xgene: Move to struct pci_host_bridge IRQ mapping functions

  cf60374de8f6 PCI: versatile: Drop pci_fixup_irqs()
  6982a068aa5f PCI: generic: Drop pci_fixup_irqs()
  f7c2e69b65fe PCI: faraday: Drop pci_fixup_irqs()

  cc2eaaef63df PCI: xilinx: Drop pci_fixup_irqs()
  dd5fcce2a7f9 PCI: tegra: Drop pci_fixup_irqs()

and I'm obsessive enough to use one of those subject lines to tie this
patch together with those.)

Fine, I'll adjust the commit title to be "PCI: aardvark: Move to struct
pci_host_bridge IRQ mapping functions". I also find it nice when commit
titles are very consistent, so I can only agree with your obsessiveness
on this!

Most of the rest look like they've been there since the driver was
first merged, so they would *probably* go in the v4.15 queue.

I agree that the other patches do not fix regressions but bugs. So it's
really up to you as to what you consider a "fix". The Aardvark driver
in its current form leaves a lot of PCIe devices unusable, and we get
bug reports about this. But admittedly, such PCIe devices have never
worked with Aardvark.

Sorry for the delay; mostly just lack of time.  I used to work pretty
strictly first-in, first-out, but the native host bridge drivers
consume a disproportionate share of my time compared with the generic
code that benefits everybody, so I'm trying to figure out how to
prioritize generic changes.  Obviously I need a solution that gives
*some* time to the native drivers.

No problem. I do understand that reviewing all of those native drivers
takes a significant amount of time.

Best regards,

Thomas
